Sažetak
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has the right to be consulted and heard on matters that affect them. The transition to school represents a ‘matter’ that requires a child’s point of view. Up to this moment their participation has mostly been based on set of tests that position them as objects of assessment. The aim of this paper is to investigate the similarities in perception of the child and the transition process among all stakeholders during transition. Interviews were conducted with preschool and elementary school teachers as well as with parents and children attending the local ECEC center. As expected, the answers differed and the research opened other numerous questions and educational needs in Croatian educational system. Conclusion was made that understanding and respecting diversity is necessary for communication, as well as for striving towards shared goals and a ready school model.
